There were 50 applicants for the job as of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The job posting closes Dec. 10. It is expected there will be a number of serious applicants just before the deadline. some coaches will avoid applying for the UND job until the last moment, because of North Dakota's transparent open-records laws.
I believe Sturdy and Klenakis will be the only remaining guys on staff and the new OC will have his choice of the other two positions.To me, Bleil was one that should have been on the chopping block just as much as Pope. I wonder if his not being fired yet was a personal favor from CPR knowing that he planned to apply for this job?
Is it typical for a position like this to have 50+ applicants? Do lots of assistant coaches apply for multiple positions each year to keep their careers moving forward and "just in case"?

Would applying for an FBS job be considered a case of moving forward?

To become a Head Coach, YES it would.
But where do you go from North Dakota?
It's not a marquee FCS program, and it looks like a pretty bad one overall. It doesn't seem like the career prospects are real high after that position.
